Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) 2006-07 Reporting Data:

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, requires the Colorado Department of Education to
make a determination of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for every school district in the state. CDE
calculates AYP for each district by measuring participation rates, math and reading performance,
and graduation rate targets for the elementary, middle and high school levels.

NCLB requires every district that
receives funds under Title I to make AYP targets annually. A
district is identified for Title I Program Improvement if it does not
make AYP in the same content area (reading or math) for two consecutive years.

NCLB requires that all teachers teaching in core-academic content areas meet the requirements for
being designated as “Highly Qualified,” no later than the end of the 2006-07
school year. Core-academic content areas are defined as: English, Reading,
Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Foreign Languages, Social Studies, the Arts
(visual art music and drama).
